About Katrina
Katrina Brown is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Texas. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or life changes.
Background and approach
Katrina aims to make therapy straightforward and useful so clients can start to feel more hopeful and clear about next steps. Katrina earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy.
Her background includes living in several Midwestern states before establishing her practice in Texas. She brings eight years of clinical experience working with individuals facing conflict at home, work stress, and shifting life roles.
In sessions she listens closely and asks questions to understand each person's situation. She uses practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, highlight strengths, and build skills that people can use between meetings.
Katrina wants clients to feel understood and to develop a sense of ownership over progress. Her interests include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting stress, relationship issues, coping with life transitions, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with blended family challenges, communication problems, divorce and separation, and concerns common to young adults. Katrina incorporates the Gottman Method into her approach alongside other therapeutic tools, aiming for clear, achievable steps rather than abstract theory.
Her style is direct, encouraging, and focused on practical change.
Gottman-Informed Care and Flexible Online Options
Katrina uses the Gottman Method in relationship-focused work, which centers on improving communication, reducing conflict patterns, and rebuilding connection through practical exercises and focused conversations. This approach can help with recurring arguments, trust concerns, and improving emotional closeness.She pairs that with practical, skills-based techniques aimed at anxiety, depression, and stress. Those methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, strengthening coping skills, and setting manageable goals for daily life. The therapist works collaboratively to choose which tools fit each person's needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will talk with clients about their priorities and try different strategies to see what helps most. This collaborative process shapes the plan and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging support more frequent, brief touchpoints between full sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with therapy communication.
